Abstract

Abstract For a random binary noncoalescing feedback shift register of width $n$ , with all $2^{2^{n-1}}$ possible feedback functions $f$ equally likely, the process of long cycle lengths, scaled by dividing by $N=2^n$ , converges in distribution to the same Poisson–Dirichlet limit as holds for random permutations in $\mathcal{S}_N$ , with all $N!$ possible permutations equally likely. Such behaviour was conjectured by Golomb, Welch and Goldstein in 1959.

随机反馈移位寄存器和最大周期长度的极限分布

摘要对于宽度为$n$的随机二元非聚结反馈移位寄存器，当所有$2^{2^{n-1}}$可能的反馈函数$f$等可能时，长周期长度的过程在分布上收敛于与$\mathcal{S}_N$中的随机排列相同的泊松-狄利克雷极限，且所有$n !$种可能的排列等可能。1959年，Golomb、Welch和Goldstein推测出了这种行为。
